Title: BTc Core- new wallet getting public address on CLI? Post by: rc333 on April 16, 2021, 03:23:47 PM How would I get the Public address for the new wallet I created?
tried dumpwallet but the text outputted is not showing it (hdkeypath=m/0'/0'/0') opened it with the walletpassphrase "seed words" 99999 prior. thanks! Title: Re: BTc Core- new wallet getting public address on CLI? Post by: ranochigo on April 16, 2021, 04:03:19 PM I think you meant passphrase?
How did you use dumpwallet *DIRECTORY* in that format? It will not output any text in the cli pertaining to the dump but will create a file in the defined directory. The following syntax works for me. Code: dumpwallet E:/Walletdat1.txt Title: Re: BTc Core- new wallet getting public address on CLI?

Is there a specific reason why you need to get the address of the first index?I am looking for the address that starts with bc1 If you've already called getnewaddress, try using listaddressgroupings.

Bitcoin Core is an "HD" Wallet (hierarchal determinisic) wallet... it doesn't have "a" Public address... it has many public addresses (theoretically an unlimited number).Do you specifically need the "first" address? or will any address do? If you have used the getnewaddress command ONCE, it should return the first address from the keypool, which should be the address at hdkeypath=m/0'/0'/0' NOTE: if you use it again, it'll return the m/0'/0'/1' address, then m/0'/0'/2' etc If you didn't explicitly provide a "label" when using the getnewaddress... you can get it to display by using getaddressbylabel command and passing an empty string: Code: getaddressbylabel "" It should return something like: Code: {Note... if you have generated multiple addresses, there is no guarantee that the getaddressbylabel command will return them "in order". tried dumpwallet but the text outputted is not showing it (hdkeypath=m/0'/0'/0') Did you search for the m/0'/0'/0' in the output text using dumpwallet... the address (and all 1000 keypool addresses) should be displayed in the dump file? ???

Use this to load a wallet: Code: bitcoin-cli loadwallet "wallet_name/path" Code: bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet="wallet_name" <command> Also, do you have any configurations in your bitcoin.conf file? |
